Each Christmas season, I write a Christmas poem that I hope has the potential to become a Christmas carol or song for the season. If you happen to be one with musical talent, here are the words, the melody is up to you and our Heavenly Father...MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Christ Come to Earth

Traveling down a dusty road

Bearing Life's heavy load

Headed for a stable bare

Son of God will be born there

Angels sing peace on earth

Heralding the Savior's birth

Dirty shepherds gathered 'round

See the Son of God come down.

Chorus

Heavenly hosts sing alleluia

Christ come to earth for me, for you.

Crowded town of Bethlehem

Was no room found in the inn

Oxen, lamb within the stall

Tiny Baby, King of All

Placed in a manger filled with hay

Our Lord and Savior born that day

Wise men came, lead by the star

From distant lands, they traveled far

Bringing gifts to give this King

Their most precious offerings.

Chorus

Heavenly hosts sing alleluia

This child has come for me, for you.

Christmas time has come at least

Bringing memories of the past

What will you now give to Him...

This Savior born in Bethlehem?

The greatest gift that you can give

A surrendered life you choose to live.

Given freely on your own

To the King of kings upon His throne.

Chorus:

Heavenly hosts sing alleluia

Christ now lives in me and you.
